Dune murder accused in the dock

Cape Town - Four people accused of killing
three men in an apparent vigilante attack appeared in the Khayelitsha
Magistrate's Court, according to a report on Tuesday.

The Cape Times reported that Mziwabantu
Mngacwengi, 45, Lumnko Bambaloza, 37, Mzimasi Mngacwengi, 37 and Buyelwa
Mngacwengi, 31, were in the dock on Monday facing murder and kidnapping
charges.

The four requested help from Legal Aid, and
magistrate Naziem Cassiem granted a provisional postponement until Friday for
financial instructions to be finalised. Their formal bail application would be
heard on April 18.

Last Thursday a police patrol found the badly
beaten bodies of Luxulo Mpontshane, 25, Mabhuti Matinise, 20, and Sivuyile
Rota, 28, in the dunes at Macassar.

Sticks and a plastic container with a
chemical fluid, which may have been forced down the men's throats, were found
nearby.
